Thu, 24 Oct 2013 01:06:13 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2300555#comment-238438Apparently they kicked the tires on Bernier and also Halak, Luongo and Schneider. One problem was that Nino had too high a cap hit as a trade return.

Nabby was likely going to be returning as one of the two goalies after JT himself publicly said he wanted him back. If Poulin returns to his pre-injury 2011 form–as he showed signs of doing vs the Hawks–Isles may be fine in goal. If they were to make a move, a trade w/ frequent trading partner ANA for Hiller would be my guess.

Nabby should have been brought back on a one year deal (which he was) with another seasoned starter to platoon with, while Poulin rides out a full year in Bridgeport (uninterrupted this time). But this was not done, and now the team has no backup plan for a weak goaltender market. Needless to say as usual, I was right again.

Also Poulin played well against the Hawks. If he returns to his pre 2011 injury form, he will be fine. Nabby gives up too many big rebounds. Did that repeatedly vs Van and they are too good to get away w/ that for long.

Wed, 23 Oct 2013 19:47:11 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2300555#comment-238349they very well could be selling at the deadline. no one who is buying is coming off a goalie before the playoffs start though. this was an offseason need that was ignored. i see this as a wasted season for their young talent because of it, i dont see them making it in with 16 teams in the east.

Wed, 23 Oct 2013 17:00:28 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2300555#comment-238269The Islanders have serious talent to compete, but they need to start getting serious about their goaltending situation. They NEEDED to do better than Nabokov and Poulin this off-season and they didn’t would. Nabokov isn’t the answer. Kevin Poulin is nowhere near being an answer. Would have loved to have seen them make a run at Bernier or Khudobin (injury notwithstanding). I don’t see how they get through this year without giving up young talent for a goaltender prior to the deadline, which isn’t the ideal scenario.
